Oh! No! The "Coming To America" McDowell's-That-Was-Really-A-Wendy's is being town down!
A few weeks ago I recalled that the McDowell's in Coming To America was really a Wendy's. They filmed the movie there before it opened as a Wendy's. I actually helped train new employees in that store before it opened to the public.
Now it's being torn down to be turned into luxury aparetments. Nooooooooooo! Another tragic loss of movie history!
I was expecting a key to the city, or maybe to have a street named after me, but this is cool, too.
Back at the start of the year, Tucson's mayor promised special recognition to those who walked at least 100 miles before June 1st. Yesterday I received this certificate, for walking more than 400 miles. Wrangler the Dog, who walked almost ALL those miles with me, didn't get a certificate.
Food Named After Me
Several years ago, for some reason, the folks at Daggwood Cafe in Tucson mentioned my name on their menu. And now it's happened again (although, again, temporarily).
This is the Buzz Burger:
which was devised by the folks at Sam Witches And Such on the eastside for the Great Tucson Burger Tour. It's got beef stuffed with ham and cheese... plus bacon, onion rings, a slice of pineapple and teriyaki sauce, and it was awesome.
Sadly, it was only available for one week. But maybe they'll bring it back again for next year's Great Tucson Burger Tour.

Tucson hits 100, I hit 400.
Tucson hits 100 (degrees), I hit 400 (miles).
I've been participating in the "walk 100 miles with the mayor" challenge since earlier this year. I walked a little more than 400 miles since it began in January. Wrangler The Dog walked most of those miles with me,
It all culminates with the Meet Me Downtown 5k this evening... on the day Tucson hits 100-degrees for the first time this year.
Gonna be a hot one. Bring plenty of bottled water.... see you down there!
